Today’s main accomplishment was deciding on Lower Granite Canyon for tomorrow’s two-night backpack, including a sidehike to Open Canyon. I was excited but nervous for my first backpacking trip in ten years and my first solo backpack ever.
Today’s secondary accomplishment was a short hike up to Grand View Point (3.4 mi, 800′). The view was indeed pretty grand: Tetons on one side of the ridge, Two Oceans Lake and Emma Matilda Lake on the other.
